Use Case: Automatically Updating a Related Layout

Scenario: Suppose you have two layouts in noKodr—a Customer Details layout and an Order Summary layout. When a user updates the customer's shipping address in the Customer Details layout, you want the Order Summary layout to automatically refresh and display the updated shipping address.

Solution:

  1. Create an Event: Set up an event in the Customer Details layout that triggers when the shipping address field is updated.

  2. Pass Data: Use the '+' button to pass the updated shipping address data through the event to the Order Summary layout.

  3. Update the Layout: The event triggers the Order Summary layout to refresh, ensuring that the new shipping address is displayed without requiring manual updates.

This use case demonstrates how events in noKodr can be used to synchronize data between layouts, improving workflow efficiency and ensuring consistency across different parts of the application.
